Nature is filled with an amazing array of living things, each with unique designs and behaviors that help it adapt and survive. Humans have much to learn from nature, and the new science of biomimicry helps us copy and apply lessons from nature in our own lives.

The book can also be used to teach ways to determine the author's point of view and how to correctly use dashes in sentence. The book and lesson are also available for levels Z1 and Z2.
